Climate change is already having a significant impact on the design and construction industry and this impact is only going to grow in the years to come. Extreme weather events such as hurricanes, floods, wildfires and tornadoes are becoming more frequent and severe and buildings and infrastructure are increasingly being damaged or destroyed.
The design and construction industries inherently carry some level of risk. Good contract management and appropriate insurance are core risk management strategies that every contractor should practice.
